History

The Manderlys were awarded the Wolf's Den by House Stark and tasked with defending the White Knife a thousand years before the War of Conquest. As the city of White Harbor developed under the Manderlys' leadership, they built the New Castle. The Wolf's Den is now used as a prison.[3]

The proud and pale New Castle is built atop a hill rising above the city's thick white walls. The merman sigil of House Manderly flies from its towers. The broad, stepped Castle Stair is a white stone street that leads from the Wolf's Den up the hill to the New Castle. There is a clear view of both of the city's harbors from the hilltop.[3]

The Merman's Court is the great hall of the New Castle where the Manderlys hold court. Chambers within the castle are handsomely furnished.[1][4] The household guard wear cloaks of blue-green wool and carry silver tridents instead of spears. The Manderlys decorate their castle with faded banners, broken shields and rusted swords from ancient victories, and wooden figures from the prows of ships.[1] There is a secret passage beneath the Castle Stair that leads from the New Castle to the Wolf's Den.[4]
